Tanzania Safari Flights from Zanzibar

  • Flying from Zanzibar to Serengeti National Park is one of the most seamless and scenic ways to begin your Tanzania safari from Zanzibar. This incredible journey takes approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes and is operated by trusted regional airlines, including Coastal Aviation, Auric Air, FlightLink, and Regional Air. The route connects the tropical Zanzibar beaches with the vast Serengeti plains (Seronera Airstrip), offering travellers the perfect bush-and-beach experience in Tanzania. Ticket prices range from $245 to $500 per person, depending on the airline, season, and luggage allowance. While there are some direct flights from Zanzibar to Serengeti, most connections include a short stop in Arusha, the main gateway city for Northern Circuit safaris.

  • For travellers who prefer a quick transfer to the mainland before continuing their adventure, daily flights operate from Zanzibar to Arusha or Zanzibar to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). These flights take around 1 hour and are served by Precision Air, Air Tanzania, and Flightlink, with fares typically between $84 and $117. Both Arusha and Kilimanjaro are ideal starting points for exploring Northern Tanzania’s top safari destinations, including Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and the world-famous Serengeti National Park. Many visitors choose this route when combining a Zanzibar beach holiday with a Tanzania wildlife safari, as it provides easy access to both experiences without long drives.

  • Once on the mainland, the final leg—Arusha to Serengeti (Seronera, Ndutu, or Kogatende Airstrip)—offers one of the most spectacular aerial views in Africa. This safari flight takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes, showcasing breathtaking landscapes from the Great Rift Valley to the endless Serengeti plains. Operated by safari shuttle flights, these routes are often booked through your safari operator or lodge to ensure smooth logistics. Prices range between $265 and $529, and in many cases, the cost is included in your Tanzania safari package.

  • This combination of Zanzibar to Serengeti fly-in safari routes allows travellers to maximise their time in the wilderness, avoiding long overland transfers and enjoying comfort, convenience, and unforgettable views. Whether you’re planning a luxury fly-in safari from Zanzibar, a mid-range Tanzania safari, or a Serengeti honeymoon safari, this air connection makes it easy to explore the heart of Tanzania’s wildlife destinations—from the azure waters of Zanzibar Island to the legendary Serengeti savannah teeming with lions, elephants, giraffes, and the Great Wildebeest Migration.

The dry season from June to October offers the easiest wildlife viewing, while January to March is ideal for the Serengeti calving season and the Great Migration.

Zanzibar and the mainland are both part of Tanzania, so no separate visa is required for travelers already in Zanzibar; international visitors need a Tanzanian tourist visa on arrival or online.

Light neutral clothing, a warm layer for early mornings, a hat, sunscreen, binoculars, and a good camera are essentials. Pack light to meet domestic flight luggage limits (about 15–20 kg).
